Shock rise in petrol price to 38p per litre
Hi,
Where we live - Super unleaded is going up from 31p to 38p per litre on 1st August!
We just bought a big V8 a few months back - bad timing!
Cheers
Steve

We really enjoy it and Dubai is only an hour and a half down the road - if we get bored!
The weather is a big plus - 360 odd days of sun - although it was 47 degrees c at 8.00 this morning!
Cars are a really big thing here - I have never seen so many super cars in one place as you do here!
Even though fuel is cheap - the distances we travel are long - the school run from our house to my sons school is 30 miles each way - so 120 miles per day. At 14mpg - this uses a fair bit of fuel before you even look at going to work!
Cheers

Regarding parking - it must be tricky!
There are a few types of big GM trucks here that must be a nightmare to drive through small gaps - they have twin wheels at the back and very wide rear arches - example below!

I park mine where ever I like, no one parks next to me. Obviously I can't park in multi storey or go through Mcdonald drive through 
keeps my vehicle clean of food wrappers. When driving I take up one and quarter lanes, cars tend to give me a wide berth. There is always someone bigger so then I have to give way.
What surprises alot of drivers is how quick it's off the line 8 seconds or so to 60mph
